Methods and structure for storing log messages in a tokenized, international format and for presenting (viewing, printing, etc) the tokenized log message in a locally preferred native language. Log messages from a computing system or application are stored in an international tokenized format which remains constant regardless of the particular nation in which the system or application is operated. The tokenized format includes a message ID field which identifies a unique message and includes parameters values which are to replace variable portions, if any, of the identified message. A plurality of localized message catalog files are available to retrieve a localized native language string which corresponds to each tokenized message. The message ID field serves as an index to the localized catalog files. A viewer program then retrieves a localized text string message from a selected message catalog file replacing any variable portions identified therein with parameter values supplied in the tokenized message. The formatted, localized native language message is then presented (e.g., displayed, printed, etc.) to the requesting user in their preferred local native language. The present invention thereby enables users having a first preferred language to review or otherwise process logged messages generated by a system or application operable in an environment having a second preferred language. The present invention also simplifies parsing problems relating to automated analysis and post-processing of logged messages. The tokenized international format of the present invention remains constant regardless of the preferred local language of the system or application which generated the message.

Methods, apparatuses, and systems allowing for configuration of message logging policy on a granular basis for web services networks. In certain embodiments, the present invention allows for an efficient data logging scheme where only messages, or message elements, of interest are stored. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the fabric services associated with the web services network architecture supports different instances of a logging service to which message data are logged. For example, the logging service instances can be configured to log only header information (header logging instance), only payload information (payload logging instance), or entire messages (message logging instance). The web services network control points can be configured to flag messages transmitted to a logging node with a logging service type, which determines which logging service instance operates on the message.

The invention relates to a system and method for changing the head portrait expression of a contact person according to messages of the contact person. The system comprises a SNS server, an information collection server, an information processing server, a transmission network and a plurality of clients. The SNS server, the information collection server, the information processing server and the clients perform data transmission and exchange through the transmission network; the SNS server receives and stores contact list information about the contact person and updated messages of the contact person; the information collection server acquires specified message logging from the SNS server according to the SNS account of the contact person, wherein the contact person whose messages are to be collected is specified the clients; the information processing server generates a new head portrait of the contact person according to the message logging; the clients update the contact list about the contact person according to the new head portrait of the contact person generated by the information processing server. The system and method convert the SNS message of the contact person of a user into the expression of the contact person of the user so that the user can know the latest conditions of the friends of the user visually and fast, and better and richer user experience is brought to the user.

A reliable and performant mechanism for communicating between independent processes, threads or parts of a computer system is described in which conditional atomic counters are used to manage a message queue. The conditional atomic counters control access to a message queue or memory space in a simple and reliable manner while minimizing the overhead of access to the mutex gate objects typically used in the implementation of message queues of the prior art. When implemented in software, a producer count and consumer count are maintained using conditional atomic store instructions with the condition on the store ensuring that one and only one producer or consumer of message records can actually post or receive validation of any specific message record. A counterpart implementation in hardware utilizes hardware mechanisms equivalent to those invoked by the software program.

Problem diagnostics may be obtained from components that log messages using a unique component identifier which is provided within each message so as to enable routing of callbacks to the component that originated the message. Similarly, problem diagnostics may be obtained from components that generate alerts, where the alerts contain the unique identifier of the component that generated the alert. Each component supports a diagnostic provider interface comprising operations which may be dynamically invoked, for example to solicit information from the component such as its configuration data, its state information, to execute self-diagnostic tests, and so forth In addition or instead, operations may be provided that can be invoked to cause the component to alter its configuration data (such as notifying the component to change its level of message logging) or its behavior.
